I would like to add subtitles to a clip and text masking in the effects room looks ideal for what I need. However, can you tell me how I can edit the text within this effect please?

Hi

Drag the Text Masking FX on top of your clip and click on the Effect tab above the timeline OR drag onto the fx timeline under your clip and double click to open Effect Settings

Happy editing

Happing editing

Thankyou, I have worked out how to apply the effect to the clip, but havn't worked out how to change the text. ie, at the moment, I can apply a nice effect saying 'Cyberlink' but not what I want it to say. I know how to make titles in the title room and how to make and apply subtitiles in the subtitle room, but how do I use either of these in conjunction with text masking please?
